One of the issues which is dealt with in the Principles of Environmental Course, are key institutions with a role to play in environmental governance and the environmental law making process. With a view to providing students with a tangible insight into the inner workings of Parliament, some students visited Parliament last week to listen to the lively debate in the National Assembly over the country's water crisis.

2018 has seen 25 new students join IMEL's postgraduate Environmental Law Programme. These students come from a diversity of countries including South Africa, Kenya, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Namibia, Germany and Austria. They also come from a diversity of backgrounds and include public prosecutors, LLB graduates, practising attorneys, environmental consultants, government officials, accountants, farmers and marine scientists.

We are pleased to let you know that all our postgraduate programmes and courses will be back on offer next year. We have also determined the provisional block-teaching week dates. Please further note that Prof Alexander Paterson (Alexander.Paterson@uct.ac.za) will resume the role as IMEL Programme Convener in 2018, and should you have any queries, please do be in touch with him in the new year.

Professor Alexander Paterson, Ms Amanda Mkhonza and Ms Olivia Rumble recently participated in the 5th Symposium and 4th Scientific Conference of the Association of Environmental Law Lecturers from African Universities (ASSELLAU) held in Yaounde from 10-13 January 2018.
